my anti-emo entry

my anti-emo entry:

I suggest we learn to love ourselves
Before it's made illegal
When will we learn?
When will we change?
Just in time to see it all fall down
Those left standing will make millions
Writing books on the way it should have been

Warning- Incubus

this i find is the truest contradiction and laugh: how we suburban teenagers complain about school and workload while millions of others in the world would give anything just to have an education! How millions out there would kill to have a stable means of living, extra spending money, nice solid 2-story house, leisure time and here we are saying that life sucks... life is a dark abyss... stress from school is killing me... my parents don't understand me because i don't tell them shit in the first place...i have stupid problems with annoying people i don't like. now as depression rates go up in school as it nears AP testing time, just remember that school is a blessing. and if you don't get your 5 on the test, your 2400 on the SAT, at least you weren't born in the ghettos or some far off country in Africa, digging the earth for yummy worms to eat (which i hear have a lot of nutrients by the way)
i hate it whenever i write these posts or say anything of this kind because when i do, i feel like the biggest walking hypocrite in the world. but keeping everything inside would not prove to be much better either. so why post personal thoughts online of all places? in the open, public arena, a network literally connected all over the world, and also a source for stalkers and such? of course i keep other personal thoughts in a journal but sometimes bottling things up just isn't good for you. it's sort of like freeing yourself from your own thoughts when you decide to let others know. and it creates room to start fresh and move on.
and why not speak your mind? As Emerson says "speak what you think now in hard words, and tomorrow speak what tomorrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict everything you say today...To be great is to be misunderstood"
